The size of your genitals is a delicate issue among many men and it rips through the centre of their self-esteem and self-confidence. Some of us will be happy with the development of our genitalia; others will think their genes have been clever and they’ve got a small penis. This is an uncomfortable topic to discuss, but there are steps one can take to improve confidence and sexual satisfaction. In this article, we will discuss what to do if you think your genes “moulded up” on the size of your penis.
But first of all, it’s important to understand that there is no set size or penis measurement. A penis is an enormously variable structure, and what seems small to one individual might be perfectly normal to another. As stated in a study in the British Journal of Urology International, the average size of an erect penis is 5.16 inches and ranges between 4.59 and 6.14 inches. That’s to say, most men fit into this band, and anything above it is considered normal.
Understanding Genetics and Penis Size
The initial step to tackling the seemingly problematic issue of genetics and penis size is to find out what it is that genetics has to do with one’s penis size. Genetics certainly play a role in determining the size of the male reproductive organs, but there are other reasons why penis size can vary from person to person, including hormones and lifestyle factors (e.g. diet, exercise, smoking, etc.). In addition, no single gene dictates the size of the penis, but a combination of genes decides the end point.
But if you do suspect your genes caused you to have a smaller penis, there are a few ways to get around it. There are a few steps that you can take to make a smaller penis look and feel more healthy.
1. Acceptance and Self-Love
To heal any body image problem is to love oneself first. The important thing to note is that there is no “normal” or “ideal” size for a penis. What counts most is the way you feel about your own body. You need to build a healthy body image and appreciate yourself for who you are instead of focusing on your perceived defect.
2. Talk to a Doctor
For anyone that is unhappy with the size of their penis, get yourself examined by a doctor. The physician can tell you exactly how big your penis is and how well it works, and even rule out medical problems that may be causing it. The physician can also provide possible interventions and remedies based on one’s specific requirements and problems.
3. Try Penis Enlargement Exercises
Many exercises and techniques claim to increase the size of the penis. These exercises stretch and rub the penis to improve circulation and stimulate tissue regeneration. While no one knows for sure that these exercises work, some men have found them beneficial. Before you attempt any of the penis enlargement exercises, always check with your doctor first so that you do not get hurt.
4. Consider Using Penis Extenders
Penis extenders are a piece of equipment worn for several hours each day to extend the penis and increase tissue formation. These are safe and comfortable devices that can increase penis size significantly over time. However, it’s very important to buy such devices from a trusted manufacturer and carefully read the instructions so that you don’t end up being injured.
5. Explore Psychological Therapy
In some instances, the penis-size misgivings might not be a physiological one at all but are psychological in nature. This is when therapy can help resolve deeper body image issues and build self-esteem. A therapist might also recommend coping strategies and exercises to overcome negative thinking and emotions regarding penis size.
6. Consider Surgery
Some may even opt for more invasive procedures like penis lengthening or girth augmentation. These are operations that involve severing the ligaments that hold the penis to the body or placing fat or silicone into the penis to make it larger. Such surgeries offer considerable enhancement of penis, but they also come with dangers and complications. Make sure you research and get the opinion of a trusted, experienced surgeon prior to taking this route.
7. Using Sexual Aids and Techniques
Besides exercises, there are sexual supports and tools that can make men feel more secure and happy with their sexual lives. The penis may temporarily expand and firm up by means of, for example, a penis pump or cock ring. In addition, experimentation with sexual positions and styles can further improve sexual enjoyment and satisfaction for both parties.
8. Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle
Genetics do affect penis size, but so can lifestyle. Exercise, a proper diet, and sleep can help to restore a healthy hormonal balance and enhance the flow of blood to the penis. This, in turn, can increase erections and overall sex performance. The healthy weight can also make the penis look larger.
Finally, let’s not forget that penis size alone isn’t the sole determinant of sexual pleasure. There are many positions and methods that can create more pleasure for both partners. If you focus on intimacy and enjoyment, instead of how big your penis is, you’ll have a better time.
Conclusion:
Put another way, even if it seems to you that your genes have “tricked” you on your penis size, keep in mind that it is all a combination of things and that you can do a few things to boost your confidence and sex life. For that purpose, you need to love and accept yourself, go see a doctor, and do other safe and practical ways of correcting any penis-sized problem. More relevant is a person’s relation to his own body, and the way that cares for him, mentally and emotionally, in equal measure to his physical needs.
